Which granddaughter did Prince Philip love more than the others and what did she do with his stellar legacy?

She is Lady Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor, born in 2008 to Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

According to sources close to the royal family, Philip immediately felt a special connection with little Louise, and it’s not just her truly Windsor aristocratic looks. The baby loved horses from an early age and willingly listened to his grandfather’s stories about them, and as soon as he grew up enough, he shared his passion for driving – horse-drawn sleigh races.

In 2019, to her grandfather’s joy and pride, Lady Louise took part in her first driving competition and took third place. Since then, he has been perfecting his driving skills and using the grounds of Windsor Castle for training.

And of course she remembers her grandfather every time she travels because he left her a special legacy. After the death of Prince Philip in 2021, the young daughter of Prince Edward became the new lover of two of Philip’s favorite black ponies – Balmoral Nevis and Notlow Storm, as well as the prince’s personal car.

Lady Louise found a special way to show her memory of her grandfather: both on the day of his funeral and at the memorial service, which was timed to mark the first anniversary of his death, she appeared with a special brooch depicting a horseman driving a chariot.
